SOUTHAMPTON VS MAN CITY MATCH ANALYSIS
The Saints have completely turned their fortunes around since the beginning of the season and were on a seven-game unbeaten run (W5-D2) before they lost to Man Utd in Round 10 (2-3). They let Man Utd match slip out of their hands as they squandered a two-goal lead, but they recovered with back-to-back wins at Brighton (2-1) and Sheffield Utd at home (3-0) As a result, they are sitting in 4th with 23 points. As for City, were on a nine-game unbeaten run in all competitions until November 21, when they lost to Tottenham in London (2-0). The Citizens were back on track with convincing back-to-back wins against Burnley (5-0) and Fulham (2-0). However, they followed it with a goalless draw in the Manchester derby and a disappointing 1-1 against West Brom at the Etihad, which puts them in the 9th place with 20 points in the early running, albeit with a game in hand.
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side, on the other hand, looks different, a much more organized side than they seemed after back-to-back defeats at the start of the campaign. With the squad that includes in-form Stephens, James Ward-Prowse, Armstrong, and Ings, they have a strong core of the team, who shouldn't be in a similar situation to last year. They were frustrated to lose points from the winning position against Wolves (1-1)and the Red Devils (2-3) in rounds 9 and 10, but they had their own share of fortune on against the Seagulls (1-2) and were fantastic against bottom-fodder Blades.
On Wednesday, against Arsenal at the Emirates, Theo Walcott opened the scoring for the in-form Saints on his return to his former club, but Aubameyang leveled after the break. Soon after Arsenal’s Gabriel was sent off for two booking offenses in the span of four minutes, substitute Nathan Redmond struck the crossbar as the Saints pressed for a winner that would have moved them briefly top of the league. However, the visitors could not make their pressure pay.
Guardiola’s men, on the other hand, are eager to regain the domestic title, and following a slow start to the season, they have shown signs of improvement lately. They are doing alright on all fronts, but the busy schedule and injuries are playing their part in the way how this season is unfolding for them. They are unbeaten in the last seven matches in all competitions (W4, D3). After the Manchester derby, which was an uneventful affair, ending in a stalemate behind closed doors at Old Trafford, they were not able to break the stubborn Baggies in midweek.
Man City created chances and controlled the game, and had Baggies goalkeeper Sam Johnstone not made two point-blank stoppage-time saves, City would have ended up victorious. City seemed on course for a customary home win against West Brom when Ilkay Gundogan found the net after half an hour, but the midfielder's first goal in 22 games was canceled out on the stroke of half-time when a deflected shot wrong-footed City keeper Ederson. It was the first goal City had conceded in 608 minutes in all competitions and it leaves Guardiola's side sixth in the Premier League table, eight points off the top.

These two premier League Sides have met 18 times so far, with man City being absolutely superior to their Saturday hosts with 13 wins to Southampton’s 3. Southampton won this fixture last season (1-0) but were on a seven-game losing streak to City in all competitions before that.
However, the Saints are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 Premier League matches.
As for Man City, they have some truly great players but the losses of midfielder David Silva to Real Sociedad in the close season, and Sergio Aguero to injury for much of the campaign, have robbed them of key attacking threats.
Manchester City have only lost two of 20 matches in all competitions this season but haven't looked overly convincing as they had done for a couple of seasons before.
BettingKick’s prediction for Southampton vs Man City match is: Both teams to score.
